Regret ✿⁠ Park Jihoon ✓

09

Jihoon was talking to Soonhee in his office. Probably discussing their work. Before both of them snapped their head to the door when they heard the knock on the door.

Jihoon's secretary, Zhang Hao, swung the door open  " Mr. Park " He called, raising the envelope in his hand high " From Serenity Inn "

Jihoon exchanged a knowing glance with her before he nodded his head " Come " he commanded. Soonhee stayed in her place. She knew it would probably be the result of the presentation. She didn't know if her brother would reject it but...

yeah, it can happen.

Plus she didn't even know how Jihoon had presented to him last week.

Hao approached the two and placed the envelope on the desk " Thank you. Anything else? " Jihoon asked as his hand picked up the brown paper in his hand.

Hao shook his head and excused himself, letting the two settle their things up.

Jihoon ripped off the top of the envelope and fished out a piece of folded paper. Soonhee gave him a minute to unfold the letter and read its content.

From his tilted head, Jihoon suddenly straightened up his body. Soonhee saw the changes in his pupils, not knowing if it shows good news or bad news.

Jihoon moved his pupils to link them with hers, which she immediately avoided, looking anywhere but at him. Soonhee clasped her hands under the desk. She knew that look.

Jihoon was intimidated.

Soonhee could hear the gulp of her saliva. She flinched when Jihoon slammed the paper in front of her " Get this out of my office "

Soonhee fixed a stare on the said paper. Seeing him react like this, Soonhee was not that dumb to not know that Soonyoung has rejected this proposal. She picked it up and intended to walk out of the office, but Jihoon's voice had stopped her by saying " You know this is your fault, right? "

Soonhee refused to answer as Jihoon continued " You know we are married for the sake of this hotel, right? "

He is on this again, Soonhee's innerself uttered

" But if it is happen to be like this, marrying to you brings nothing good, then "

A sudden pang hit her heart. She didn't know why but she was offended. Soonhee swayed her legs out of the office in a rush. Which leaving him with a burning flame.

Jihoon threw his head to the headrest and clamped his eyes shut. Should I send an e-mail for reconsideration? He thought.

No, he can't lose thus opportunity at all.

RY Hotel was between the edge.

" Argh! " He shouted, ruffled his head in frustration. Before he stopped himself when he felt a warm sensation trickling down between his mouth and nose. He made a reach for it and and touched.

Jihoon saw nothing but red.

Nosebleed.

" She is still in her office "

" Wait for me at the lobby " was the last sentence Jihoon had said before he hung up the phone. He yanked his blazer off the cloth stand, flicked the lamp off, and slammed his door shut.

He swayed his feet away, making his way to the lift. By the time he walked past Soonhee's office, a faded light caught his eyes. Which made him whirl around. He stared from afar.
